Dental implant placed successfully in bone-deficient region of lower jaw

A young man reported to Balaji Dental and Craniofacial Hospital wanting dental implant treatment to replace his lost teeth. After radiographic examination, it was seen that bone in the missing tooth region was slightly insufficient for placing the implant. 

Maxillofacial Surgeon & Implantologist Dr. S.M. Balaji skillfully grafted a small portion of the bone from the site itself and placed it in the bone deficient region. With this the bone deficient region was sufficiently strengthened and dental implant was successfully placed in the augmented bony ridge. Following successful osseointegration of implant ceramic prosthesis was fixed.
